Had a good afterwork ride this afternoon, trail conditions were very good. Mazu showed improvement, considering this was only his second time at Kulani.

nice ride looks like fun.

Aikane: just going to post this if you wanna do a short couple of mile climb. then come out tomorrow. meeting at boiling post parking lot at 8 am. come if you can. probably leave parking lot at around 830

I think I'll be there. The lack of sleep over the past three days is starting to catch up to me. Plus Aikane was pushing me hard through the forest so I'm kinda beat from the today's ride. He's a slave driver. nah j/k

I also broke a pedal reflector today. Another reason for me to upgrade to a better flat pedal. I think it hit a large root. My right side pedal was all clogged with mud. I had to give my bike a quick wash down. Then I went for a quick half-mile run and did some rockwall jumps. That's probably another reason I'm tired tonight.

As much as I want to go, I don't think I can allocate that kind of time from my schedule. There's just too many commitments and catching up to take care of right now. Hope you guys have a good ride though.
Think I might do a quick run down to UH campus, ride some stairs and then grind that big hill going up to Imiloa. Urban trails.

Wow, hey, I'm back from vacation. Though I've been kind of busy. I haven't dirtied my mountain bike since I got back a little over a week ago. Wish I could join you guys. I'm roarin' to hook up with you guys and do some trail riding. Thanks for posting all the great pictures. I've ridden up there where all the waterfalls are. Some great fun!!

It was just three of us today so we ended up going back to waterfall hill. It actually turned out to be a nice sunny morning up there. Saw quite a few hikers with dogs today. They were all nice and friendly. All in all it was a great ride.

Yeah I like this pic too. Looking at this picture reminds me of how tiny we really are. We are just a speck on this planet. I'm happy to be a speck that lives on the big island though.

SOOOOOoooooooo.......are we riding this weekend?

Yup, totally agree, just got back from an awesome trip to CO and I still am happy I live and get to ride here. Nothing compares to the CO trails but yet, nothing compares to our stuff too, YEAR ROUND.

So I get Friday off but probably can't ride, gonna go play some lawn-billiards with my GF and some of her friends.

Who's up for riding on Saturday or Sunday? I would love to just hit Kalopa this weekend as I haven't seen the trails in a few weeks and need to "assess" the condition of downed trees and other "maintenance" things I have to look into. I'm very flexible as far as times so just let me know when you might be good for you guys. If not good, I'll just head out there myself.

Also, just in case you guys are on FB, here's a page I started a while ago and sort of neglected for a long time until recently. Was thinking this place could be just for what we have here on MTBR.

I'm down for anything Sat. or Sun., flume road, Kulani, whatever. I'm just itching to hit up Kalopa, but figure we should give Honolii29's legs a chance to recover. He's running that half marathon this weekend, right?

LOL! Thanks for reminding me Aikane!
I'll see how I fare, was looking to go Kalopa, depends on the legs. I was just browsing around trying not to think about the half marathon and I caught this, made me laugh.
Just gotta finish, not compete, my real prize is taking my hardcore runner friend on ANY bike ride. Oh, and I got one in mind, it's a trap! Didn't want too tech like Kulani, as 50 feet in, she'd be over it. The ride I'm thinking of is very scenic, reels you in, and down 5 miles. Only way out is back UP 5 miles! Then that is just half the ride. LOL!
But yeah, I'll post/ text if Im up for a ride.

I'm thinking about just hopping in doing the 10K run. Not too sure though. Plus the late registration fee is kinda steep.

I hope you are hydrating as we speak. That's going to be key for the run. The worst thing to happen when you're running is catching side pains because of dehydration. It happens to me every now and then and it can take a mile or so to just "run it off".

Thanks Mazu, am actually having a glass of water by my side all week. Best advice was to hydrate all week, to the cellular level. Yeah, no way I running the whole thing. Been training Zgalloway tech, 3 min run/1 min walk. Been great so far. Did a long 8 last weekend, felt great, coulda kept going. Carbed up tonight and tomorrow. Only thing threw for the loop was running in the morn first thing last week, didn't have any breakfast or drink before, and my legs felt like a hundred pounds! My time was in range, just the legs was dead. My friend lughed and told me Zi need to have something before I ran. I was o used to running in afternoon, after eating and drinking all day. LOL!

OK then, how about I meet you guys up at Kalopa at 9 on Sunday? Looks like the weather was nice today (Friday). I'll be with a white Ford Ranger with Turner Spot on the back. Looking forward to meeting you guys. Let me know who'll be showing up so I'll know how many people we're getting together.
